Create a shelf of books for another user

mastroalex · 12-30-2021, 09:02 AM

Hi, I want to keep my books separated from another user. I am adding books that this user wants, and then send them to her personal ebook.
Apart from adding these books and add a tag "username" to each one, I can't see a way to keep my books cleanly separated from the other user, even with a virtual library.
I'd like to create a shelf/category "username", then just drag and drop a folder of books and keep them automatically there, separated from mine. Any suggestion?

A VL is just a subset (filtered view) of the physical library.

I'm going to stop right here as MR rules prohibit helping with a possible Copyright violation. Please clarify if the other user is entitled to share your books .

Why not create a second library? Seems the simplest.

Edit: I don't mean a virtual library. A second separate physical library.

I support that proposal, what's more, I have separate libraries from my children and my wife

Thank you all, I didn't know it was possible to create a new library. That is the best solution.

If you have custom columns you want to keep in the new Library, use Create/Switch : and tick the Copy Structure box

A side effect of multiple libraries (defined), is you get a new context menu (right-click) item when selecting books: Copy to Library (has options)
